If you are a meat lover, then there is bad news for you. If you buy
meat from the market, then you must give it a thought as a recent study
suggests that processed meat may increase the risk of cancer.
Cancer
research done in the UK has resulted in a correlation between processed
and red meat and cancer. And while not all red meat may be harmful,
some of it certainly is. One cannot guess the health condition of the
animal that was slaughtered to give you your meat.
Even
if you buy the product from the supermarket then also it’s not going to
help as it gives no certainty that cancer may or may not have been
removed by the butchers.
World Health Organization has even
classified ham, salami, bacon, and Frankfurt to contain group 1
carcinogen which essentially means that these foods contain
cancer-causing materials.
So it
doesn't mean that one should stop eating red meat and just break up with
it. It is, however, advisable that if you consume a lot of it, then you
must cut down the intake as the famous saying goes that excess of
everything is bad.
